How to cook the beef

Was it any good? The first photo looks great but the next three, and especially the final two, make it look like it was massively overcooked and thus rather dry and mealy.

How was it cooked and how did it taste?
 
First two pictures are the pork/ham, it was very good, nice and sweet taste permeated through all the meat.

Roast Beef was perhaps slightly overdone, but not dry, and was all eaten so must've been good! Not as good as it could have been, but in the rush of the day cooking for 8 people it' was about 90% perfect!

Real Roasters? As in Potatoes? We had those...

I used a thermometer from my toolbox to probe the meat, cleaned before use and metal food type anyway :) Think it got to 70°C

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought those were packet roast potatoes. Ah if you were happy with it well done fair enough.

I had the opposite problem with a leg of lamb. My crappy oven didn't help with it's rubbed off temperatures and slightly loose knob.

People always seem to under estimate the cooking time if a roast potato.

Heat the fat up first, par boil, ruffle potato up in colander, allow to dry a little before slipping them into hot fat, coat evenly in fat. Back in at 220.

Awfully sorry - I thought there was a massive difference between the first and last pictures, but I didn't twig that it was two different joints!

Also managed to miss your previous post about the gammon and cola, so I've managed to stitch myself right up. Should learn to read things thoroughly!
